New Eden
- Star Trek: Discovery
- Season 2, Episode 2
Again, season 2 of Discovery is incredible. In New Eden, we find out Spock has committed himself into a psychiatric facility, one week after taking leave of Enterprise. USS Discovery detects a transmission from far off. Assuming it to be connected to the Red Angel, they follow it. They end up coming across a planet in the Beta Quadrant, which was previously known to not have any human population. Apparently, this planet, calling itself New Eden, has a small human population.
We find out the Red Angel took them from Earth during World War II, putting them here. Upon reaching the planet, the small community seems to have one church that combines all of Earth’s known religions. But it is a primitive society that never evolved with the times for 200 years. They also do not possess electricity. Captain Pike then battles his religious views from his upbringing and the scientific world he is in now. It is truly one of the best Star Trek episodes you could ever see.
